My mom locked me up. Her adopted daughter took my exam. I lost everything—then disappeared. Six months later, Mom found me working at a bakery and cried, “Rosie lied to me. I threw her out. Please come home.” I almost believed her. Until my new dad—a stranger who owns Zoodom’s entire cold-chain empire—made one call. The Academy Dean brought my admission letter in person. Mom’s face went pale. “Who… are you?” He smiled. “The man who found your daughter when you threw her away.”
